(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to Legends of Cybertron Starscream. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of Legends of Cybertron Starscream here.)

    Sunstorm is the only Legends of Cybertron toy that doesn't have a larger, mainline Cybertron version, though the concept is based off the increasingly popular light yellow G1 Starscream look-alike of the same name. The colors picked for this version of Sunstorm are VERY well-done. Though I usually don't like yellow being used as the dominant color for a Transformer, in this case it looks very good, and is enough of a dull, "sunny" color that it doesn't look too bright or tacky. The metallic orange used as a secondary color is of a very attractive shade as well, and goes GREAT with the yellow. The pearly white and silver are nice accent colors, and give Sunstorm more of a feeling of power than he otherwise would have, at least to me-- which is appropriate, considering Sunstorm is supposed to be a super-powerful character. And, as expected, he still does have the black head (and a few other minor black paint apps) to help identify that he is one of the many Seeker Starscream look-alikes.
    No mold changes have been made to LoC Sunstorm.
    LoC Sunstorm is a step above Starscream in terms of the color scheme with some very nice-looking, eye-catching colors all around. And, given that this mold is the best LoC mold of them all, if you're only going to get one toy from this line, get this one. Especially since there's no larger version of it in the main Cybertron line.
